Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith is endorsing President Barack Obama as part of an outreach effort by the re-election campaign to encourage continued support from the African-American community.

“I have the president’s back and it’s left up to us as African Americans to show that we have his back, also,” the coach says. “Join African Americans for President Obama today.”

Racism is ugly.

[outhousepatrol]

Obama: Christian? RACIST!
Smith: Christian? RACIST!

Birds of a feather......Total BS

[preamble]

you have his “back”???

what about his job qualifications and his record?

nothing about that Lovie.

racist

[boop]

What's really sad is when the Colts beat the Bears in 2007, the reporters kept asking Tony Dungy "isn't it GREAT, seeing two black head coaches in the Super Bowl?" Dungy kept saying "It's more important that there are two Christian coaches out there, who give honor to God, etc." Dungy wouldn't play the racist angle, even when the media kept wanting him to.

I'm not sure of Dungy's politics, but he's a pretty decent guy IMO.

Lovie stinks if the reason behind his support of Obama is skin color.

[Don Corleone]

Black on Black! Back the Pack!

[SampleMan]

The racist SOB...

[Starstruck]

If I was supporting someone just because they were white you could rightly call me a honkey cracker. Just saying.

[BobinIL]

He sucks as a coach and now he has proven he has bad personal judgment as well. I may have to defect to the Packers.

[Kozak]

Yet another reason for me to hate the Bears.

Go Pack Go!!!!!

[VeniVidiVici]

I thought this dumbass was going to get fired?

[EyeGuy]

That’s funny, Smith didn’t across as an ignorant, locstep racist when he was Mike Martz’ Defensive Cooridnator for the ST. LOUIS Rams.

[BobinIL]

What would happen if a famous white sports person said this:

“I have the president’s back and it’s left up to us as White Americans to show that we have his back, also,” “Join White Americans for President Bush today.”

[Pit1]

Love GB, hate the Bears and LS. He’ll be unemployed at the end of next year.

[Big Horn]

I am shocked.

You forgot one, maybe two. How could you possibly omit an illegal alien or two. Would that automatically be a penalty for encroachment? (defined as a term which implies “advance beyond proper limits.”)

I have written off the NFL since the TV ad of Zero catching a pass. I saw that ad in a bar in Minnestoopid, and made a comment asking how many takes were done for the scene. Or maybe a body double was used with Zero’s head spliced on. I was kicked out of the Eagan MN Old Chicago for that.
Anyone who is in the tank for Zero is scum.

Oct. 16 Viqueens vs the Bears. A game I will ignore since I usually cheer against any team playing against the Viqueens.
Same goes for January 1st
